further notice. The work will all be aone on the day shift. The notice was something of a surprise to the men, yet the thinking part of the mills had for- seen that something of the kind was inevitable before long. The new order of things went into effect this morning. ill with grip.

Superintendent John Stevenson was seen William Patterson went to Pittsburg by a ews reporter this morning, and in this morning. speaking of the order said: have I N. Martin is ill at his home on South plenty of orders, or rather did have until Mercer street. Necie Sankey is visiting friends at Moravia. John Reeder, of Sciota street, is ill with pneumonia.

Elmer Bryan, of County Line street, is recently, but our customea are putting us off and some are trying to cancel their orders outriiiht. This we will not allow however. The Wilson bill is the cause of the trouble. We notiwd a decided change within two days after the publication of the bill I do not think that the new tariff measure of iteelf would produce this depression and would not be understood as saying that, but I do think that it is a scare resulting from the prospective tariff changes. In other words it is not a reality but the prospect of a realit which may do no harm.

The fact is that buyers are holding off in the hope of buying cheaper next you think that the product of your mills will t)e much cheapened by the new was asked, I do said Mt. Stevenson. "We can make nails here almost as cheaply as they can in In Germany rods and labor are both cheaper than here, and in England labor is cheaper, but we have the most improved machinery and can produce the finished product almost as cheaply as they can. Our nails may be driven out of the seaboard markets if the proposed tariff goes into effect, however, as the freight from Germany to New York by is only one half of the freight from here to New York by The tariff on large size wire nails now is $2 per hundred pounds. The bill provides for a 25 per cent, advalorem duty, which at the present price of nails is about 27 cents per hundred.

The other manufacturers of the city almost unanimously report the same depressing effects of the new tariff bill. Orders ceased when its provisions were made known, and all because of a wide spread fear in business circles. The rod mill will be able to run until Christmas in spite of the fact that the wire mill is running only half time. The steel mill will probably run until Christmas also, as it has orders enough now to keep it busy nearly all next week. A new heating furnace is being built at tbe tin plate mill, and will materially increase the capacity of the institution.

The Ways and Means Committee are Putting the Finishing Touches on Internal Washington, ways and means committee were in session again yesterday considering the remaining parts of the administrative features of the bill.

When that work is completed the democratic members of the oom- mittee will try to get together and put on the finishing touches to the internal revenue schedules. Mr. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, one of the leading democratic members of the committee, said Wednesday morning that it was hardly likely the bill would be laid before the house for several days, inasmuch as that time would elapse before the majority report will be ready. The mail of many of the democratic members of the house is filled with protests from their constituents against the changes proposed in the bill. Mr.

Coombs, of New York, has received a number. One was from the secretary of one of the hat makers' associations, protesting on the part of several thousand workingmen against the reduction of duty on hats and hat niaterial.s.

The committee is informed that the United States are large exporters of soap, w-e do not send abroad all grades.

Col. Henderson now believes that this will be unnecessary.

Smith leaving him some property. Mr, Smith was put under bonds in the eum of $5,000 to care for the boy and take charge of his pro p- until he would come of age. The boy has been living with him ever since until a day or so ago when he was coaxed away by his mother who recently married a man named Graham. Mr. Smith being responsible for the boy endeavored to get him to return but was not allowed to see him.

He then went to the and instructed proceedings under the old apprentice law of 1770 which is still in effect in Pennsylvania. After serving a notice on the boy or his mother to return to his master which was unheeded, a warrant was issued for his arrest. Constable Cornelius was given the paper to serve, and as he could not find the lad with his mother, started to look for him about town. After some search he found the lad with his step-father in restaurant on the diamond about 9 at night. The warrant was served on the boy first, but Mr, Graham interfered and tried to prevent the constable from taking him away.

He finally assaulted Mr. Cornelius who promptly grabbed him and threw him on his back on a table and, drawing his mace, announced that he would take him along, too, if he made any more fuss. This cowed a stranger who had showed signs of taking a hand in the fight, and Mr. Cornelius marched up to Alderman house, Mr, Smith also came to the house, and the boy consented to return to his home. He said Mr, Smith was very good to him, but that his mother had coaxed him to come and live with her until he had consented.

Then he took his clothes and school books and stole away from Mr house at night. He said that he would rather live with his master than with Mrs. Graham. Mr. Smith, in his re lation of master to the boy, has a clear right to have him in his keeping, and the lad could only be restored to his mother by an order from court.

Jones, minister of finance under Queen uiokalani, at the time the ministry was deposed for w'ant of confidence, and subsequently minister of finance under the provisional government, was a passenger on the Oceanic w'hich arrived from Honolulu Tuesday night. He spoke to a United Press representative as follows: Is intense feeling on the islands and a positive determination to resist force by force, should the United States attempt to place the queen on the throne, despite the earnest protest of the better class of people, and there will certainly and absolutely be trouble. The determination to resist the restoration of the queen is born of a conviction of right and sense of duty.

The provisional government took chances when it overthrew the rottdii monarchy and proposes to take chances in the outcome and abide by them. Insofar as Mr. impartiality is concerned, he positivelj' refused to hear evidence likely to clash with his preconceived ideas. My assertion though broad is based upon personal From my intimate acquaintance with the government, derived while minister under it, thoroughly acquainted with all its rottenness, I oflfered to give him the benefit of my but he peremptorily refused to listen to me. Minister Willis was recently asked what the intentions of the United States were relative to He answered that contingencies had arisen which had not been expected by himself or his government, and therefore he was obliged to await further instructions.
